Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Abnormal shape of hand is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| MMP14matrix metallopeptidase 14 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| MMP2matrix metallopeptidase 2 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| GANgigaxonin | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| SPARTspartin | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| EXT1exostosin glycosyltransferase 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| EXT2exostosin glycosyltransferase 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SLC26A2solute carrier family 26 member 2 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| FAM50Afamily with sequence similarity 50 member A | Not recorded | In 1 condition |
How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
